ANDY AND JORDAN DALTON HOST ‘HOLIDAY HEARTS’ PROGRAM AT THE UNDERGROUNDTuesday, December 8, 2015

Cincinnati Bengals Pro Bowl quarterback Andy Dalton and his wife, Jordan, played host to 17 families for the Andy & Jordan Dalton Foundation’s Holiday Hearts program in partnership with State Farm and UPS at The Underground last night, Dec. 7.

Families enjoyed a fun holiday-themed evening with Andy and Jordan, including dinner, karaoke, holiday treat-making, a Build-a-Bear station, games and presents. Each family received a family gift and Christmas tree along with additional gifts from their wish lists. Best of all, families were able to spend quality time with each other, something the Daltons cherish this time of year.

“1 Peter 4:10 says that ‘each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others as faithful stewards of God in its various forms’ and that’s the premise of our foundation and Holiday Hearts program,” said Andy Dalton. “These families go through so much hardship throughout the year with a sick child and can’t always celebrate the holidays like they want to. To see all the smiles and to know they’re able to spend quality time together, it means the world to us.”

Local State Farm agents and nurses and case workers from Cincinnati Children’s Medical Center assisted in making holiday wishes come true by “adopting” and shopping for each family. State Farm often gives back during the holidays through its nationwide Give Back Program.

Holiday Hearts is one of five programs established by the Andy and Jordan Dalton Foundation, which continues its mission of providing opportunities, support and resources to seriously ill and physically challenged children and their families in the Greater Cincinnati area.
